I am constantly accidentally moving the focus point with the joystick and accidentally changing exposure compensation with the rear dial. Both of these issues could be fixed in firmware. The advanced bodies allowed you to remap the rear and front command dials. Other cameras like Nikon have a lever to lock the focus point. These are my biggest gripes about the X-S10. Otherwise I find the size and operation almost perfect for me.

There is a function in the X-S10 that locks controls to prevent inadvertent changes. In the 'wrench menu,' it's on the second screen of the Button/Dial settings and called Lock.  You can select 1 or more specific functions you want to be able to lock, or all functions.  The Exposure Comp dial and Joystick are among the options.   When shooting, you  toggle the lock on and off by pressing and holding the Menu/OK button for 3-4 seconds.  Note there's only one lock button, so you could set it up to lock both exp comp and the together, but not separately.

Note this function was added to the camera in a firmware several  releases ago.
